Which suburb would you recommend for a hotel when visiting Chicago? |
Travel Info I'm on a semi-limited budget, and don't want to spend all the money on a hotel. Also, where is a good place to park your car? Where is a good restaurant? What attractions do you recommend? Travel Tips Schaumburg is your best bet and you can take the public train (Metra) into the city and skip the driving. Oak Brook is very high end and it isn't cheap. Also the zip code to Oak Brook is 60523, the zip code the above poster gave was for Oakbrook Terrace (Oak Brook's low class neighbor). Woodfield Mall is one of the largest if not the largest in the state and has every shop you can imagine. Others I would recommend the Schaumburg area. Its close to O'Hare airport (I dont know if you are flying) Woodfield mall is right there, as well as many many restaurants. There is a Medeval Times dinner and tournament show there. Its quite expensive though. I dont know if you have kids, or when you plan to travel, but Six Flags is about an hour away. In chicago, go to the Field Museum or any of the other museums that are right there. Or the Shedd Aquarium. There is the Lincoln Park Zoo. Shopping on Michigan Avenue. Honestly now that I think about it, if you are going to Chicago, you should just stay in the City instead of a suburb. Then you can get everywhere easily. Of course parking is tough. Usually you can park at your hotel garage for a fee. The answer to your question is Oakbrook Il or Schaumburg, Il. Both towns are surrounded by hotels, restaurants and a large mall in each city, as well as a few nightclubs. StayBridge in Oakbrook Terrace is reasonably priced and as for Schaumburg, there are millions to choose from. Go to expedia and search zip codes 60173(Schaumburg) or 60181 (oakbrook). the above folks have it right IMHO. Here is a great site that is the Greater Woodfield area of which Schaumburg is the center. All the hotels, restaurants and attractions are listed: http://www.chicagonorthwest.com/... This is my neighborhood! Don't go to the suburbs. Stay downtown where all the action is. There are plenty of parking garages, and the hotels have valet. www.metromix.com has plenty of "what to do" while you are here. Enjoy! Try Rosemont or Des Plaines, they are close to the airport (O'Hare.) |
